asterisk users - Mar 2003 - Products for use in Australia

Hey guys,
I've noticed a bit of traffic lately about products (or lack of) that
can be used in Australia legally.
At the moment I have a zhone zplex and t100p running with asterisk but
am looking to change for the following reasons:
1. No incoming callerid on the zhone
2. Fan noise of the zhone
3. Not being compliant with the stupid Aussie telco regulations

I want to sell the t100p and zhone to replace it with a setup that
allows me to have 2 incoming lines from the telco and 4 handsets. I seem
to remember a pci card being mentioned that had 6 ports, each
configurable for fxo or fxs (although I could be imagining things as I
couldn't find the relevant post in the archives).

Anyways,
Is anyone aware of any products that will suit my application?
Is there any plan to certify the digum products for use in Australia?
Are there any products about that would be fine, but aren't supported by
Asterisk?
Is there anyone working on a product with 6 ports, configurable as
FXO/FXS?

Cheers,
Kent

I use the traverse ISDN cards with a reasonable amount of success
(www.traverse.com.au). Combined with a ISDN Home or similar, you get two
channels to play with (plus callerid free of charge).

I also use the S100U with reasonable success...

Finally, my last step is with the Cisco ATA186 which also works reasonably.

The reason I say reasonably well is because I haven't quite solved the false
DTMF problem (I hear dtmf tones when the other person speaks) because I
can't find the kernel patch + asterisk patch to do this. I did find mention
that the kernel detection had been improved in 2.4.21-pre4, I'm now using
pre5 but didn't use it enough today to say if it is improved or not.

Would be nice :)

Somone mentioned some internal netcomm modem type cards that sounded good
but are not supported.

Not that I know of, within the next few weeks we should get the 1 to 4 port
FXS card (station card) where you can order between one and 4 ports...
